Not all of the decisions leading up to his death were his own. He was working as a bouncer until he got laid off due to Covid19 - and yes, he was a drug abuser and that was a bad decision, but I don't think anyone would take Chinese Fentanyl expecting to die from it.
I'm not going to argue he's a saint, I agree he was a lowlife - but we can't lose sight of the fact that China had a much bigger hand in everything that happened to him than some bullshit about police violence.
China cost a lot of people their jobs and has taken tens of thousands of lives with Covid and fentanyl. All I say to those who are angry about Floyd's death is that their anger (whether or not you and I agree it's justified) is at best misplaced. I'm sure right now there are a lot of people turning to drugs because of this pandemic, because they lost their jobs, because they are broke and everything feels hopeless.
Again, he's a piece of shit for doing that to a pregnant woman. I never argued he wasn't. But the things I listed weren't all consequences of his own choices and the police weren't after him over his robbery.
It wasn't his choice to contract covid, it wasn't his choice to lose his job. China contributed to his death. If you want me to agree with you, fine - Fuck George Floyd. But fuck China too for making him worse.
Just tired of the constant victimization excuse for people who make bad decisions (not you, in general).
People have hard lives. You may have had a hard life. Doesn't mean you go into porn, get addicted to drugs, are a multiple felon, rob pregnant women at gunpoint, break and enter, use counterfeit money, and die of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.
He's no victim to me.
China is a separate issue, and yes, fuck China too.
George Floyd wasn't a victim at all. He was a piece of shit drug addict porn star who died from his own bad decisions.

He held a gun to a pregnant woman as he robbed her. Fuck George Floyd

I can agree with you on that.
